DENISE M. TRAUTH

Thanks to the generosity and support of our donors, Texas State continues to achieve extraordinary success in its fundraising efforts. Once again, we have completed another milestone year.

In fiscal year 2016, which ran from September 1, 2015, through August 31, 2016, we added a total of $26,446,929 in philanthropic support. Our growth in endowments for scholarships, faculty positions, and new programs has been outstanding. These
gifts are essential to our ability to attract and retain the best and brightest students and faculty, and enable us to expand and improve our academic programs and research activities.

Our accomplishments are far from coincidental – they are the direct result of a deliberative planning process and a lot of hard work from every corner of the university. We believe we are moving methodically to create and enhance opportunities
that give our students access to careers that will make them an important part of Texas’ future.

We are greatly appreciative of our donors’ commitment to making Texas State a world-class institution.

Sincerely,Denise M. Trauth President

Texas State’s record year of support was marked by a series of highlights that helped the rising star of Texas shine even brighter.

> $2 MILLION for 2 new degrees $1.1 MILLION in scholarships

St. David’s Foundation Continues Support of School of Nursing

St. David’s Foundation donated more than $3.1 million to Texas State in support of the St. David’s School of Nursing at the university’s Round Rock Campus. The gift consists of more than $2 million to develop two new tracks to our master of science
in nursing degrees — a major in Nursing Health Care Leadership and a major in Family Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In addition, the second part of the gift provides $110,000 per year over 10 years for graduate nursing scholarships.
That part of the gift is eligible for a 50 percent match — $550,000 — under the Texas Research Incentive Program (TRIP). Prior to the current gift, Texas State has received more than $13 million in gifts from St. David’s Foundation.

$12.1 MILLION Ingram Hall

New Engineering Building Named for Heroes Drs. Bruce and Gloria Ingram

In November, the Board of Regents approved the naming of the new engineering and science building in honor of Bruce and Gloria Ingram. The couple’s 2015 gift of $5 million supported the construction of research facilities and equipment for the
building, which is scheduled for completion in 2018. The Ingrams’ $5 million gift is eligible for a 100 percent matching TRIP grant, thereby doubling the gift’s value to $10 million. In addition, Ingram Readymix, a company started by Bruce and
Gloria Ingram in 1957, has given an in-kind gift of $2.1 million worth of concrete to help construct the building. Over the years, the Ingrams have given more than $16 million to Texas State, which includes endowments for faculty and scholarships
for students. The Ingram School of Engineering bears their name.

> $1 MILLION for the Wittliff Collections

Star-studded Lonesome Dove Reunion Benefits Wittliff Collections

Texas State was host to the Lonesome Dove Reunion and Trail in Fort Worth, a series of events and exhibitions that celebrated the beloved miniseries. Bill Wittliff, who with his wife Sally founded our renowned Wittliff Collections in 1986, was
co-executive producer and screenwriter for the miniseries and a principal in the activities associated with the reunion and trail. The signature event — a sold-out gala featuring the cast and crew, with both silent and live auctions — was a
huge success. The net proceeds from the event exceeded $1 million and will support new acquisitions for the Wittliff Collections.

$1 MILLION for scholarships

Diepenhorsts Create Matching Fund to Endow Athletic Scholarships

San Antonio alumnus Dan Diepenhorst and his late wife, Cindee, gave a $1 million gift that will be used to match other philanthropic support for endowed athletic scholarships. Gifts ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 will be matched through the
Diepenhorst donation. The goal is to encourage other passionate Texas State alumni to give, increasing the overall athletics scholarship endowment by $2 million. The gift makes the Diepenhorsts among our newest Heroes. The Board of Regents authorized
the university’s request to name the Dan and Cindee Diepenhorst Champions Club Level at Bobcat Stadium in their honor. In addition to the Diepenhorsts and Drs. Bruce and Gloria Ingram, other gifts of more than $1 million in the past fiscal year
were made by Drs. Jerry D. and Linda Gregg Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. and Lela Grogan, Mr. and Mrs. William T. and Loma Hobson, and Mr. Ron L. Mitchell.

NXP Establishes Embedded Solutions Laboratory

In September 2015, we celebrated a longstanding relationship with our partner and Texas State Hero NXP (formerly Freescale Semiconductor Inc.) and named one of our engineering labs the NXP Embedded Solutions Laboratory. In 2008, NXP gave the
university equipment used to manufacture semiconductors and was a strong supporter a few years later when the university was establishing STAR Park. In 2015, the company committed $380,000 in scholarships, programming, and in- kind equipment
to support engineering research activities. NXP also was one of the corporate partners for the student research teams that participated in Texas State’s Innovation Lab at the 2016 SXSW Interactive Festival. Overall, NXP has donated over $5 million
to Texas State.

research, fund data collections so that I can continue my research efforts, and bring business professionals to my classes to serve as guest lecturers in order to expose my students to ethics in the ‘real world.’”

“I’d like to thank the Ingram family for all they do to support Texas State University. As the first Bruce and Gloria Ingram Endowed Chair in Engineering, I am preparing a proposal for a new Civil and Environmental Engineering program at Texas
